“The Clippers made a move that neither improved their team nor helped their reputation. And that in itself is the greatest description of who the Los Angeles Clippers have always been, and will continue to be — losers.”

Accountability in America for privileged white men in power seems non-existent — if it ever existed. Even a “smoking gun” proves useless.

Elections have consequences.

Of Course, The Los Angeles Clippers Did Chris Paul Dirty — They’re The Clippers!

For @newsoneofficial.bsky.social, I wrote about how this isn’t just about a team mistreating a legend; it’s about a franchise that’s addicted to making bad decisions.

The Damning Dismissal of Trump’s Election Interference Case in Georgia A new precedent has been set. Now others will try to circumvent the system.

As Americans headed into the holidays, a Georgia judge threw out Trump’s last remaining criminal case over the 2020 election.

“Audio exists of Trump trying to bully an elected official into helping him ‘find 11,780 votes’ to overturn an election he lost — and it still didn’t matter.”

My latest on the damning dismissal — on Thanksgiving Eve — of his election interference case in GA.

If a case like this--which is shockingly obvious in its intent to subvert the Constitution--can be thrown out we are in big trouble in this country.

some things never, ever change.

there are 136 fbs schools, which means close to 300 coordinators. we’re supposed to believe there isn’t a single non-white coach that’s worthy of this list? foh.

Bill Belichick’s first season at UNC was a complete circus. It was a train wreck in every way possible.

However…

He still won more games this season with a lesser roster than ole boy did at Colorado.

4-8
9-4
3-9

Deion is 16-21 in 3 years at Colorado.

He was 0-2 at the Celebration Bowl @ JSU & 0-1 in bowl games at CU. JSU won the CB AFTER he left.

He’s one of the 5 highest paid coaches in college football.

Fired. Part ways.

Doesn’t matter.

End this charade, Colorado.

Working for the (Holiday) Weekend Thoughts on The Discourse this week + rivalry game previews!

I wrote about working nights, weekends and holidays — and how even a “dream” job still has its tradeoffs.

Explaining (to aspiring sports journalists) is not the same as complaining: nicoleauerbach.substack.com/p/working-fo...

As we enter Thanksgiving, remember two things.

1. Keep the less fortunate in your prayers.

2. Never lose sight of the things in this note from 2023. It’s timeless.

NFL players should get Thanksgiving holiday pay Working while everybody else is eating should come with a monetary bonus in your locker.

Add NFL players to the list of people working through Thanksgiving.

I wrote about the gruesome history of lynching.

The President has insinuated that it should happen to his political rivals.

The imagery of white bodies hanging from trees would definitely be some “strange fruit.”

“White people have a long history of tolerating other white people because they so rarely have to deal with the consequences of whiteness.”

I wrote about why believing in MTJ’s strategic realignment would be a really dumb decision.

Please Don’t Fall for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Convenient Rebrand Doing the bare minimum isn’t proof of rehabilitation

“A few sensible remarks and a new sullen tone do not suffice to suggest that Greene’s actions reflect any genuine progress," writes @carronjphillips.bsky.social in his latest.
